Description
A theological treatise by E H Hoare, vicar of Barkby in Leicestershire. The Seeleys published the second edition at London in 1850. A clerical meeting prompted the work. Its question asked what Scripture alone deduces about baptism. Hoare, one of the members present, took the systematic path. He examined every passage bearing on the subject.
No text, he insists, may be read against another. The inquiry outgrew his expectations and cost him pains. The interest, he says, repaid the labour. His advertisement quotes the sixth Article of his church. What Scripture does not contain or prove is not required as faith. Hoare opens by tracing baptism talk to the deluge. Peter's words on the eight saved souls anchor the start.
